There are some very fine Fleetwood Mac albums, depending on who the boys got to front them. As for Tusk, it depends on what you think of the songs that aren't by Lindsey Buckingham (who should be locked in a studio with Jon Brion). The CVB could be interesting/fun.

Germany did to us what we did to Mexico, there's no shame in that. As the technically better team, they chose to let the USA do all the work, stay in a good defensive shape and use quick counterattacks to win free kicks where their advantage was greatest. Very good coaching really; and pulling the double-team off Reyna and putting it on Donovan -while it gave us more possession - effectively removed our most dangerous player from the game. > But isn't Oliver Kahn unbelievable? And starting goalkeeper for the "all ugly" team, that's no lie. He made two saves to win the game, and had help on a third :-p Too bad that 40yd volley from Reyna did'nt stay on line, that would've been the goal of the tourney so far, and to catch Kahn so far out...

Last night I was looking towards the setting sun along the ray of last light hitting our yard. This ray had found a small break in the treeline to come thru, so its light was surronded by a halo of leaves. Maybe its an effect of my glasses, but what I saw was a streaked amberish dazzle spreading out from the light in an uneven figure 8 with the top circle smaller than the bottom. And I immedistly thought -- its a sun spider -- and saw the sun's rays as a web. I like the idea of the sky as a web of energy. BTW--saw Spiderman last weekend and enjoyed it. Loved the feel of the special effects of Spidey swinging along the buidlings, I always wanted to do that as a kid. One great thing about Spiderman was--he could only operate like that in a city. Put him in a corn field and no go. My husband thought the movie lacked Spidey's proper irony, but I put that down to him being a very young Spidey.
